Dancing On The Heads Of Snakes
'Dancing on the Heads of Snakes' - a record where a diverse range of instruments combine to create mystery, intricacy and haunting moods. Taking influence from Levant, African, Iranian and blues styles, composer Michel Gasco counts Hazma el Din, Nizar Rouhana, Ali Farka Toure, Ustad Rahim Khushnawaz, Mohammad-Reza Lotfi and more as critical influences to his music. Hailing from Spain, Gasco adds a subtle of hint of his homeland - yet each of the six tracks on Dancing on the Heads of Snakes bears deep multi-cultural influence with an authentic and earnest representation of distinct middle-eastern styles.
